I am having a hard time with comparing these two objects.

What I am trying to do is verify if the Item (from GameRegistry.findItem(modid, name)) matches the ItemStack (from the player's inventory)

 

I am certain that none of the objects used are null, and yet I have had no luck getting it to return true when it does match. I have checked that all of the parameters are correct, and have tried several different condtions, such as these 3:

ItemStack.areItemStacksEqual(new ItemStack(item, stack.stackSize), stack)

item.getClass().isInstance(stack.getItem())

stack.getItem().getClass().isInstance(item)

However, all 3 give the same result of always returning false

stack.getItem() == item

Sorry, wifi issues made it post twice without actually loading at all on my end.

It may also be that it is not causing the command to count successes properly. How does one make a command fail or succeed? Thinking about it, this is an alternate possibility. I should log the output of this method.

properly causing it to properly

Also,  1.7.10 is no longer supported here. 

OK big facepalm, I forgot two very important lines for after the loop through the player's inventory...

if(count == 0)
            return false;
